Weight Management with a Registered Dietitian
Lasting weight change comes from habits you can keep, not short-term rules. We look at what, when and why you eat, plus sleep, stress and activity, then build a plan one step at a time.
Is this for you?
- You have tried diets that worked briefly and then stopped
- Your doctor has recommended weight loss for blood pressure, cholesterol, joints or blood sugar
- You are going through menopause and your body is changing
- You want to support a child or teen’s healthy growth without focusing on the scale
- You are considering or taking a GLP-1 medication
How our dietitians help
No forbidden foods
We use portion awareness, meal structure and protein and fiber targets so you feel full and satisfied.
Personal meal plans
You get a flexible plan with recipes and grocery ideas that fit your budget and family.
Behavior & emotional eating
We work on triggers like stress, boredom and late-night eating with practical strategies.
Progress beyond the scale
We track energy, labs, waist measurements and how your clothes fit, not just weight.
What to expect
- First visit: your dietitian reviews your health history, labs, medications and eating habits, then you set 2–3 goals together.
- Your plan: a personalized plan with meal ideas, recipes and tools, shared in your Healthie portal.
- Follow-ups: regular check-ins, usually every week or every other week at first, to track progress and adjust.
Visits are in person in Suwanee or Lawrenceville, GA, or by secure video in 25 states. More about visits.

Weight Management: common questions
Does insurance cover a dietitian for weight loss?
Often, yes, especially when billed with a diagnosis such as obesity, prediabetes or high cholesterol. Coverage varies by plan, so check with your insurer.
Will I get a meal plan?
Yes. Your dietitian creates a personalized, flexible meal plan, then adjusts it at follow-ups based on what is working.
Do you work with children?
Yes. Several of our dietitians see children and teens, and our team includes a Strong4Life certified dietitian who is also certified in pediatric and adult weight management. We focus on family habits rather than dieting.
How fast will I lose weight?
A safe, sustainable pace for most adults is about 0.5–2 pounds a week. Your dietitian will set goals based on your health and medications.
